SPECIAL REPORT
Cure for Senate Woes Demands Student Spirit
Editor's Note: This is the second article of a two-part series on the problems of the ASSC Senate written by a prize-winning Daily Trojan feature writer and former ASSC senator.)
By MEL MANDEL Isolating the ailments which have been afflicting the Senate is a complex task. Finding a cure for them is even more difficult.
Of all the opinions relating to the problems in the Senate, the most basic and meaningful conclusion was expressed by President Topping at the past Student Leader’s Dinner. He said the Senate lacked responsibility to the students it represents.
But responsibility is a two-way proposition. Senators cannot serve their constituents if students do not make their feelings and wishes known to their representatives.
How many Trojans ever attended a Senate meeting? How many know when and where the organization meets? How many voted in the past general election? How many know who their senators are, much less ever talk to them about campus problems ?
Students cannot evaluate, even communicate with a group, ■without being aware of its structure. powers, procedures and problems.
This is like asking an American farmer to explain the intricacies of the Soviet economic system when he has never visited Russia, never studied economics and never read more than an occasional newspaper or magazine article about the subject.
Like the Soviet economic system, the ASSC Senate can’t be evaluated without knowing basically how it functions. What is that phantom body really like?
The Senate, the supreme policy-making body of the ASSC, at present is composed of 31 members proportionally representing 18 fields of study. It meets at least once a month on Wednesday evenings.
Legislation, in the form of both resolutions and statutes, originates primarily from the Senate’s four standing committees: Student Affairs, Financial Controls, Academic Affairs and Rules.
Bills passed by a majority of the Senate are sent to the Executive Cabinet. If approved by the latter group, the legislation goes to the president of the university for final approval. An Executive Cabinet vote can be overriden by a two-thirds vote of the Senate.
A senator has available to him several vehicles of communication with his constituents. The simplest, and perhaps the most negelected channel, is word of mouth. Personal contacts, as any public practitioner will affirm, is the most effective type.
Another method is reaching constituents by mail, but this technique is both costly and slow. A few senators have at-
tempted to send letters to their constituents, asking them to report their suggestions for legislation by return mail. This process has usually proved friutless.
Many senators rely on the Daily Trojan to announce their activities to students. At the same time, legislators often critcize the campus newspaper for its coverage of Senate meet-i n g s and Senate - sponsored events.
The Daily Trojan takes the responsibility of communicating, within space limitations, all news of interest and importance to students. Because the Senate, in theory, represent all students, its activities are covered in the newrs columns and when the situation merits, in the editorial columns as well.
However, the Daily Trojan is not a substitute for direct contact between senators and the students they represent. In the first place, news articles only travel in one direction — they can’t help a senator determine what his constituents want or need. In the second place, a news story must have a general appeal so that it will interest a conglomeration of students. But a sentor is responsible primarily to the students in his own field of study. Their interests are not necessarily the same as those of the student body in general.
Leaders who wrote the present constitution and supplemented it with appropriate statutes realized that a convenient means of two-way communication had to be devised.
Fields of study were established as representative units because they could be organized to provide an outlet for the opinions of the students within them.
Section 3, Article 5, of the present constitution provides that to be recognized and entitled to one or more Senate seats, a field of study must have an approved constitution on file with the Senate. Each field must also have an executive authority who “shall supervise all student activities and implement all ASSC rules and regulations within its academic constituency.”
Under the provisions of a Senate statute passed four years ago, the president of each field of study must organize a council composed of interested students within his academic constituency.
Each field of study council is required to meet at regular intervals to discuss its particular problems and to suggest possible legislation to its senators, wrho are supposed to attend these meetings.
As far back as Jan. 4, 1961, the ASSC Senate passed a bill which formed a Field of Study Presidents Organizations “to coordinate the activities of and to organize the field of study councils.”
Such a group has not been
functioning in the past two years. It is questionable whether it was ever organized.
But most important, field of study councils themselves—the basic means of communication between senators and constituents — are largely a figment of the imagination.
At one time or another, some field of study councils have actually been organized and functioned. The present list of active councils, as near as can be determined, includes dentistry, pharmacy, business and international relations. The other 14 fields are “functioning” without their most logical vehicle of communication.
Does USC’s Senate stand alone among student governments in its lack or organization?
“Student government at colleges and universities throughout the United States suffer from apathy on the part of students,” Senate President Dennis Barr points out.
“In the past few years, 23 or 24 universities have dropped student government completely,” he said. “The reason in many cases was that the student government could not handle its responsibilities.”
Los Angeles State College is one local school where student government seems to operate efficiently, according to Barr. Activities are coordinated by a single legislative-executive body called the Board of Governors.
If the structure and procedures of student government at other universities have been successful, it is possible they could be used to remodel student government at USC. So far no form of student government at another school has been studied closely enough by ASSC officers to adapt it for this campus.
Suggestions for improvement such as those offered recently by former Sophomore Class President Rich Moore and ASSC President Ken Del Conte were devised by analyzing only USC’s system.
“The ASSC Constitution states that the Senate is to be the legislative body of the student government, but does not outline what it is supposed to legislate,” Moore comments.
The weakness of the present Senate, he continues, is its composition of “senators from fields of study, an area where communication is non-existent. Essentially, we have senators representing no one.”
In his plan for reorganization, Moore would eliminate the field of study senators, substituting the presidents of campus service or honorary groups such as Mortar Board, Spurs, YWCA, Blue Key, IFC and AMS. This proposal would improve communication between senators and constituents, but it would leave the majority of students unrepresented.

Opera Group church panel to quiz Will Present presidential aspirants
Final Show
The third and final performance of Richard Strauss’1 “The Love of Danae,” a three j act opera, will be presented! tonight at 8 in Bovard Audi-, torium.
Reserved seats are $2.50 and general admission $1.50.
The opera, sung in English, was translated by Dennis Wakeling, a graduate of the School of Music. The score will be played by the Symphony Orchestra and the ensemble enacted by the Opera Chorus.
“Happy Myth”
The story is billed as a “happy myth” and tells of the love of Jupiter, greatest of the gods, for Danae, daughter of King Pollux.
An eternal triangle evolves when Danae falls in love with Midas, a poor donkey driver. Midas, made rich by Jupiter, finds himself poor again as the jealous god seeks revenge.
The roll of Jupiter is sung by George Gibson, a pre-doctoral student in opera. He has starred in two other USC operas.
Trained Voices
Geneviev Weide, post graduate student in voice, sings the role of Danae. Miss Weide has also been seen in other USC operas and is a recent winner of t h e Southwestern regional award of the National Association of Teachers of Singing.
Richard Riffel, a three-year veteran of the San Francisco Opera, sings the role of Midas.
The three performances represent the American premiere of the production.
Birthday Salute
The opera is being presented in commemoration of Strauss’ 100th birthday. It was awarded to USC by the Boosey Hawkes publishing house, agent for the Strauss estate.
Dr. Walter Ducloux, head of the opera department and the opera’s conductor, made a bid for the opera three years ago, but was turned down.
“Since then, we have built up a fine reputation, and last semester received the bid,” Dr. Ducloux said.
Three ASSC presidential candidates will pause in mid-elections stride today and focus their political thought on-church-sponsored debate scheduled for noon in 133 FH.
Candidates Bob Oates, Roger Rosendahl and Gordon Strachan will answer a series of “loaded’’ questions posed by a panel made up of Rev. James Leavy, chaplain to undergraduate Episcopalians, Linda Spendler of the Wesley Foundation, and Greg Hill, Daily Trojan assistant city editor.
The debate is co-sponsored by the Wesley Foundation and the Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian (ELP) Center.
Only the three presidential candidates will speak, although they may be joined by a fourth— in the person of anti-student government candidate John Betinis.
Betinis’ appearance is not definite, however. Among the issues to be discussed are racial discrimination among USC’s students, the abolishment of student government and the political affiliation, if any, o fthe candidates with so-called political organizations, such as TNE and TRG.

“I think that Mr. Oates (presidential candidate Bob Oates) and I should feel rather flattered that Gordon would even use the same phrases that we did over a week ago when we made our positions clear on this mat ter.”
Election Delay Denied
ASSC presidential candidate Roger Rosendahl, whose campaign materials were stolen from the Kappa Alpha house early Sunday morning, was turned down by tl\e Board of Inquiry yesterday in his attempt to postpone the ASSC elections one week.
Elections Commis s i o n e r Scott Bice said the board rejected Rosendahl’s plea because its members felt the theft “was not sufficient reason to postpone the elections.
“We think this robbery is deplorable, but don t feel that granting an exception would solve the matter,” Bice explained.
Funds Denied
His request for permission to use additional campaign funds was also denied by the board.
Rosendahl's campaign headquarters, an empty room in the new wing of the Kappa Alpha house, was broken into early Sunday morning.
According to John Sullivan, Rosendahl's campaign manager, the robbery netted approximately S185 worth of materials.
Sullivan said campaign workers had been using the room until 3 a.m. that morning. He believed the theft took place around 5 a.m.
The campaign manager, who presented Rosendahl's request to the Board of Inquiry’s meeting at 3 yesterday afternoon, expressed disappointment with the board s decision.
More Determined
“It’s unfortunate that a fair chance hasn’t been given al! the candidates, but this only makes us more determined to overcome the disadvantage incurred by the robbery,” Sullivan said.
Gordon Strachan. one of Rosendahl's opponents in the sprint for the ASSC presidency, commiserated with the victimized candidate.
“I personally sympathize with Roger s misfortune,” he said. “I had wanted elections extended myself so we could concentrate on issues rather than the emotional reaction to this act of political assassination.”

Geologist to Reveal Research on Reefs
Geologist William H. Easton will explain how reef deposition indicates changes in sea level in Hancock Auditorium tonight at 8.
Dr. Easton, who is seeking a relation between the fossilized and living reefs, will lecture on “The Raised and Living Reefs of Oahu.”
The Hawaiian area was Ideal for this research, according to Dr. Easton, because no great land upheaval is believed to have occurred there since the middle of the Ice Age.
The chairman ha3 been working on this particular | field of study for three: years and has been at USC in the geology department for 18 years. He recently received a National Science

An unusual and rarely used type of radioactive dating is being used to deter-
mine the age of the reefs. By taking tracings of radioactive ionium, Easton hopes to find jthe reefs age.
Before Dr. Easton could : undertake this project he had to receive his scuba diving certificate, which he obtained by enrolling in the scuba diving class here at USC.
The professor spent last summer on Oahu teaching and continuing his investigation of the reefs which have been building around the island since its conception.
Dr. Easton feels that reef study is of great value in completing the Geologic Record.
“The reefs which came into being and developed with the various stages of sea level represent an actual chronology, which is not confused
with any buckling of the earth’s surface,” Easton commented.
The highly respected geologist, who has been interested in coral study most of his geologic career pointed out “the great reefs are a true link between the past and the present.

By TERRY FOUTZ
To some people, the perennial challenge is a way of life —such is the case with USC's Bill Walsh.
The 27-year-old sculptor is one of approximately 10 graduate students in the entire United States who is willing to run the risks connected with the carving of marble— the most difficult stone to work with.
“Marble is like a woman — delicate and unpredictable,” Walsh explained. “If you don’t treat that block of stone just right, she’ll shatter right in front of your eyes and then you must start all over again.”
Walsh said because of the numerous veins which run

“I decided right then and there that I was going to find this feeling of freedom in my work. Sculpturing has given me this feeling — I can express myself in an extremely satisfying manner.”
Walsh doesn’t confine himself to sculpturing alone, however. He has also done many paintings and drawings. But regardless of the type of work he is doing, his one common objective is “to capture the expression of feeling and emotion.”
Walsh plans to graduate this June with a Master of Fine Arts degree. He is currently working on his thesis project which is a large stone carving for a modern residence in the Beverly Hills area.
Commenting on this project, Walsh said that putting life into stone i3 the ultimate test of an artist. “This is what I am striving for.” Another unique feature of the sculptor is the way in which he works.
